- Connect DisplayPort End: Carefully insert the DisplayPort male connector of the cable into the DisplayPort output on your source device. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Connect HDMI End: Insert the HDMI-A male connector of the cable into the HDMI input on your display device.
- Power On Devices: Turn on both your source device and your display device.
- Select Input: On your display device, use its remote control or on-screen menu to select the correct HDMI input source that the cable is connected to.
- Verify Display: Your source device's display should now appear on the connected monitor or projector. If not, check your source device's display settings (e.g., Windows Display Settings, macOS System Preferences) to ensure the external display is detected and configured correctly.

Operating Instructions
The InLine DisplayPort to HDMI Converter Cable is a plug-and-play device. Once connected as described in the "Setup Instructions" section, it will automatically transmit video and audio signals from your DisplayPort source to your HDMI display.
- Video Transmission: The cable supports resolutions up to 4K (3840 x 2160) at 60Hz, providing a clear and smooth visual experience.
- Audio Transmission: Audio signals are also transmitted through the cable, eliminating the need for separate audio cables. Ensure your source device's audio output is set to the DisplayPort/HDMI output.
- Extended/Duplicate Display: You can configure your computer's display settings to either extend your desktop across both screens or duplicate your primary display on the external monitor.
Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your converter cable:
- Storage: Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Avoid bending or kinking the cable sharply, especially near the connectors, as this can damage the internal wires.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the cable and connectors with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Connection: Always grasp the connector housing when plugging or unplugging the cable, rather than pulling on the cable itself.
